Add Dependent Request

Eligibility:

Only a spouse or child can be added as an F-2 dependent.
You must show additional funding of $6,500 for the first dependent and $4,000 for each subsequent dependent. Your I-20 will be updated to show the new finances.
In addition, the documentation must show enough funds to cover Tuition & Fees, Living Expenses, Health Insurance, Books, and Transportation (1 academic year or the remainder of your program, whichever is shorter).
Statements must be dated and cannot be older than 3 months from the time you submit a request. You may upload more than one financial document.

Things to Remember:

F-2 is valid for the duration of the F-1 visa holder's status.
F-2 dependents may not work, but they may study part-time. F-2 children enroll in Kindergarten through 12th grade.
Children must be under 21 to qualify for F-2 status.
F-2 dependents do not pay the SEVIS I-901 fee, but they do pay any fees associated with their F-2 visa appointment.
You must sign the Student Attestation section(s) on your I-20 for yourself and your dependents.
